HOW TENS WORKS FOR PAIN RELIEF
The Wireless 3-in-1 Pain Relief Device ACRL-9100
is a single output channel TENS machine and highly
effective in temporarily relieving pain. TENS therapy
is now regularly recommended by doctors,
physiotherapists and pharmacists throughout
the world.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
is a noninvasive, drug free method of controlling
pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through
the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception.
TENS does not cure any physiological problem;
it only helps control the pain. TENS does not work
for everyone; however, in most patients it is effective
in temporarily reducing or eliminating the pain,
allowing for a return to normal activity.
Scientific theory suggests that electrical stimulation
therapy may work in several ways:
n
The gentle electrical pulses move through the
skin to nearby nerves to block or shut out the
pain message from ever reaching the brain from
the source of the pain.
n
The gentle electrical pulses increase the
production of the body’s natural pain killer, such
as endorphins.
